“Erin was wonderful to have around our pets. She was friendly and personable, and it was obvious that both of our cats were comfortable around her. She also sends pictures of your pets, which makes the time away more manageable! Would thoroughly recommend.”
About: I have been caring for pets PROFESSIONALLY for 14 years. Experienced with small dogs and seniors who utilize pee pads or fenced yards for their needs. I provide attentive care for multiple pets while maintaining their existing home routines. Dedicated to safety and consistent communication. Gentle Leisure Walks / Potty Walks I currently offer calm, slow-paced neighborhood walks that are ideal for potty breaks, fresh air, and gentle movement. My walks are best suited for senior dogs, small dogs, low-energy dogs, or pets who enjoy a relaxed stroll rather than vigorous exercise. Walks typically include a short outing close to home at an easy pace, with plenty of time for sniffing, potty breaks, and comfort. I do not offer running, fast-paced exercise walks, or long-distance walks. I provide calm, gentle care and leisurely walks, some breed and temperament restrictions do apply to ensure the best experience for every pet. Exotics I have experience with exotics; rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, hamsters, tarantulas, birds, fish, hedgehogs, iguanas, bearded dragons, axolotls, lizards,and turtles. During the meet and greet we will go over the very specific needs of all your special babies. The only medication I administer is the kind that can be mixed into their food. Please make sure to always check not just my calendar. Also please make yourself acquainted with my cancellation policy. I value every pet and every visit I’m trusted with, and I always strive to be punctual and reliable. In the event of unexpected delays such as traffic, weather, or emergency situations (including other pet care visits or personal emergencies), I allow a reasonable grace period of up to 45 minutes per visit. During inclement weather, for everyone’s safety, visit times may need to be adjusted earlier or later depending on conditions. Communication is always a priority. In any situation that affects timing, I will provide updates as promptly as possible so you’re never left wondering. I appreciate your understanding that real-life situations can occasionally affect timing, and I remain fully committed to providing consistent, attentive care for every pet I serve. Available 7 days a week including holidays. All my visits begin at 9:00 a.m. And the last visits are done at 6:30 p.m.. Make sure you contact me and let me know exactly when you need me to make sure that I'm available. I maintain strict safety protocols, requiring secure fencing or a leash/harness for any outdoor activity. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and secured. For my safety and yours, I require clear communication regarding who has home access.
“Keri is the best!!! She always exceeded my expectations. She truly cares for my cats. And I feel my cat did not miss me at all LOL because she filled them with care and love. I will book her in the future.”
“Aubry did a fantastic job watching our dog. Our dog is older with a few health concerns, so we are particular about the type of care she receives when we are away. Aubry was thorough, responsive, and delivered exceptional care. Would 100% rebook!”
“Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.”
“Cassy is really great! She was very patient with me because this is my first time using Rover. She even helped us do extra work like cleaning the litter and cats’ throw-up on floor. Really sweet. We are 100% satisfied.”
“Myra did a last minute drop in visit for me! I have 3 dogs that can be alot especially getting to know their routine and food schedule. She took it on like a champ!! Thanks for the help again myra! Will definitely be booking again”
About: I’ve grown up with and cared for pets all my life. Dogs, cats reptiles and birds! I’ve also worked at a professional dog grooming salon for two years, I have a lot of experience with dogs big and small! I am currently working part time at a dog boarding facility, so I have plenty of spare time to walk and check in on your pets! I have utmost respect for my clients homes, following your rules and caring for your furbabies! I understand that not all pets are open to meeting new people, I approach animals softly and gently and have a lot of patience!
“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”
“Theodore is a wonderful pet sitter. We received regular messages and photos of our cats during our long trip. It was great to know they had a friend to keep them company while we were away. I highly recommend their services. Thanks again!”
About: I love animals and have cared for many different kinds. I'm also a Pre-Veterinary student and trained Veterinary technician. I've cared for animals of all ages and can identify sicknesses and health issues. I'm currently a college student with only 1-3 classes a day. I have big gaps between classes and a lot of free time to check on your pets and play with them when requested! As a pet parent, i aim to provide for the best care for my animals. I have a dog, cat, and leapord gecko which receive great care. As a pet owner, I will provide the same love I give to my animals, to yours.
“Kelsey is professional, dependable, and gentle with animals. She did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog who has some complex needs, and we will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had a Siberian Husky since I was 12 years old. The only time I wasn’t her primary caretaker was the 4 years I was away at college. I’ve seen her through the puppy phases and grow into a tame napper with bursts of energy from her youth. She lived with my parents when I moved back to the city until she crossed over the rainbow at 15, but I lived with my cousins 11 year old dog before coming to Peoria. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets before. Most notably a pug puppy that eventually moved in with a Chicago Cubs player for two weeks, a dog from Jerusalem with 3 cats and a lizard and a fish for a month, and many of my friends’ animals as well. I currently live in downtown Peoria. Depending on your pet’s needs, I am comfortable accommodating the amount of time you’d like me to spend with them, and often have more time at home/able to travel to yours on weekends. I’ve had family pets visit my place and have plenty of room to run around as well as relax. I keep an eye on them to make sure they are happy but also have the place “pet-proofed” if needed to step out. As per house visits I will stick strictly to the instructions left behind by the owner.
“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

Sara is an absolute angel - she was able to book last minute due to a personal emergency and did absolutely wonderfully with my 2 cats. Sara earned the trust of my shy girl who usually hides for anyone other than me. 1000% recommend if you are looking for someone who actually cares for your pets as if they were her own.
Alyssa went above and beyond for my pets. She came a few days before to meet them, and get training on what to do. Even though my cats were scared at first, she was very patient with them. On the day of the pet sitting, she sent pictures and explained what she did while she was here. I was very happy with her services!! It was great to know my cats were happy and cared for while I was gone.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
